So true Jeremy.. but what solution is there?
I can think of none for button.php

Except maybe allow people to use multiple files..

Such as a button1.php, button2.php, button3.php, etc..

To lighten the load of a single file? Maybe you could code it so when handing the code out, it will figure which one has less load or users using it at the moment and give that file in the link?

Someone who I know took a look at the button.php and said there were too many calls for the mysql or w/e... like saying you really only needed one process or call to the mysql rather then several.. and that you could clean up the button.php file alot. But then again that person doesn't know what all the file needed to do either.. because he never used this script.. xD

Come visit Kametsu Forums, an anime and gaming forum with anime downloads, amv's, an arcade, triple triad, rpg mod, and much much more!

if someone can speed up button.php i would be grateful. right now it uses:
1 query to check if it is a valid member
1 query to check if it's a unique hit
1 query to update the ip log (to count the unique hit)
1 query to update the stats
1 query to get the cached rank

if the rank needs to be updated, then it is 2 more queries to update the rank.

Jeremy if you want you can browse my topsite (sorry is only in Italian for now) to see my last modify.

I've used a funny Flash plug-in to visualize Charts !!

What do you think about ?

Another modify is in the Admin Panel...I try to describe it because you can't view:

There's a menu item that help me to find with a click the list of wich users are freezed ... I mean those sites inactive by a number of settable day. For each user present in the list I can send an Alert e-mail with info before their site reach the master inactive day limits. Is very usefull and in most case users patch their site and then return active !!

I just assumed it's legal from all the stuff I heard about it. I personally think porn should be illegal and I don't want my site members to visit porn sites, so I simply asked for my account to be deleted. I removed my link and that's that. It's not that big of a deal anyway.

P.S. Sorry about my post up there. I didn't realize there was a second page of posts when I replied so I hit the post reply button instead of the quote button. lol sorry.
